Exercise Description

The ipsilateral load dumbbell front lunge builds single-leg strength and power. It targets your quads while fixing muscle imbalances between legs.

How To

1. Hold a dumbbell in your right hand at shoulder height, stand tall with feet hip-width apart 2. Step forward with your right leg (same side as the dumbbell) into a long lunge position 3. Lower your body until both knees bend to 90 degrees, keeping the ipsilateral load dumbbell front lunge weight on your front heel 4. Push through your right heel to return to starting position, maintaining control of the dumbbell 5. Complete all reps on one side before switching the dumbbell to your left hand and stepping with your left leg

Common Mistakes

• Holding the dumbbell too far from your body during the ipsilateral load dumbbell front lunge, which throws off balance • Taking too short of a step, which puts stress on your knee joint • Rushing through the ipsilateral load dumbbell front lunge instead of controlling the movement with proper tempo
